Coming to Taiwan was a difficult decision, but one I am very happy I made. At first, I was worried that I was too old to go back to school, but coming here has shown me I can do anything I set my mind to. The only obstacle to my success is me. Read More

“My GMBA Internship at Bejing”
By Justin Lin(Class 2015)

I, Justin, worked as an intern in the private equity department for Hollyhigh International Capital in Bejing. Established in 1998, Hollyhigh International Capital is an investment bank in mainland China specializing in Mergers and Acquisitions. The private equity department works with stocks and debt in companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange. Our investment strategies help buyers to purchase target companies through leveraged buyouts (LBO). A leveraged buyout (LBO) is when a company or single asset (e.g., a real estate property) is purchased with a combination of equity and significant amounts of borrowed money. Read More

I had been living in Taiwan for about 6 years before I decided to apply for the GMBA program at National Chao Tung University. I was doing what most foreigners who come to Taiwan to do, which is teach English. I had enjoyed this job for many years, however I knew from the beginning that it was not a career. The money and free time were great perks of teaching English, but there was no challenge.

I shouldn’t say that the actual work wasn’t challenging, because dealing with little kids who don’t speak the same language as you is not as easy as you might think. By challenging, I mean that there was no incentive to work harder or to go above and beyond your duty. It became a mundane task in my life and I didn’t enjoy it anymore.

When I began studying at NCTU I began to get that feeling back again, like when I first came to Taiwan. Once again there was a purpose to the things that I did on a day to day basis and those things were always different with each day as well. I realized that I had become stuck in the mud of teaching in Taiwan. It happens to lots of foreigners who come here, and I don’t blame them, but it wasn’t for me. I loved living in Taiwan, but I knew that my days as a teacher were numbered.by Jacob Hanks, 2014 Graduate of GMBA. Read More
